Maharashtra NEET UG Special Stray Round 1 Result Out — MBBS/BDS Joining on November 10, Round 2 Seat List November 10–11
Published 10 Nov 20264 min read
The State CET Cell, Maharashtra, released the first special stray vacancy round allotment result for MBBS and BDS courses on November 8, 2026. Candidates who received a seat in this round must report in person to their allotted college on November 10, 2026, carrying original documents, the required fee by demand draft, and the status retention form.
Candidates who are seeking a seat in the next round have a separate task on the same date. The state schedule lists November 10–11, 2026 for the second special stray round's seat list and online preference submission.
Maharashtra Special Stray Round 1: What Candidates Must Do on November 10
Candidates allotted a seat in the first special stray vacancy round must complete physical joining on November 10, 2026. At the college, they must produce:
Original documents (as per counselling requirements)
Required fee via demand draft
Status retention form
Candidates should confirm their allotted course and college from the November 8 selection list before reporting.
Which List Should Candidates Check?
Three separate lists have been published during this phase of counselling, and candidates often confuse them:
| List | Date | What It Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Merit list | November 5, 2026 | Registered candidates eligible to participate |
| Seat matrix | November 5, 2026 | Seats available for choice filling |
| Selection list | November 8, 2026 | Outcome of choices — allotted course and college |
Key point: A candidate checking where to report should use the November 8 selection list to identify their allotted course and college.
The state had listed 84 MBBS and 54 BDS seats before the first special stray allotment. Those figures describe the seats offered at that stage. Candidates entering preferences for Round 2 should refer to the new seat matrix to see which options are available in that round.
Maharashtra Special Stray Rounds 2 and 3: Complete Schedule
| Round | Seat List and Online Preferences | Scheduled Selection List | Physical Joining |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 2 | November 10–11, 2026 | November 11, 2026 | November 12–13, 2026 |
| Round 3 | November 13–14, 2026 | November 14, 2026 | November 15–16, 2026 |
Final joining date across the schedule: November 16, 2026.
Important: A candidate allotted a seat in an earlier round must follow that round's own joining date. For example, a Round 1 allottee must join on November 10, 2026 — the November 16 final date does not extend their deadline.
Fee Payment Methods by Round
Round 1 (special stray): Fee payable by demand draft at joining.
Rounds 2 and 3 (special stray): The schedule lists demand draft, cheque, NEFT, or RTGS for fee payment at joining.
Candidates should follow the specific instructions attached to the seat they receive and carry original documents to the allotted college.
Documents and Forms Required at Joining
Candidates must carry at joining:
Original documents (as required under counselling rules)
Required fee — demand draft for Round 1; DD, cheque, NEFT, or RTGS for Rounds 2–3
Status retention form
Candidates should check the special stray vacancy notices on the Maharashtra CET Cell portal for the official document checklist.
Final Joining Deadline: November 16, 2026
November 16, 2026 is the final joining date across the entire special stray schedule. However, candidates allotted seats in Rounds 1 or 2 must meet their respective round's joining deadline — November 10 for Round 1, November 12–13 for Round 2 — and cannot rely on the final date.
